Some classical utensils of Nepal

Here are pictures of some classical clay and metal utensils used since medieval times for normal Kitchen purposes which nowadays due to emergence of plastic and glassware products are rarely used in day to day life but have not yet lost their importance in any cultural purposes.

KARUWA - It is normally made of bronze and brass and some are beautifully carved.It is used for drinking water, serving alcohol (specially in Newari culture) and in various pious ceremonies.

DEKCHI - A huge copper utensil used for cooking.

A collection of typical kinds of utensils used in Nepal

TAU MAK : I am not very sure about this one but i guess it is used for some alcohol purpose.
